ABOUT US

Samajik Seva Sadan is committed to promote, facilitate, conduct and co-ordinate development activities in professional and scientific manner aiming at the sustainable development specially that of the Tribals and Dalits in Target Area. Accordingly the Organization has adopted the strategy to organize and empower the rural population to work together in a real sense of fraternity for sustained growth to make them masters of their own destiny cutting across the barriers of caste, creed and religion. Poverty is the root cause of hunger, illiteracy, ill health, lack of shelter, inaccessibility to drinking water & sanitation, lack of purchasing power and several other forms of human misery. For a dignified human existence it is essential to alleviate poverty. According to SSS conceptualization, all the anti-poverty programmes thereto culminate into self propelled community processes with ‘Justice to Fellowman and sustainable management of Natural Resources’. In every respect the Organization stands committed to the Sustainable Development of Target Population.
